Envision Leaders
Our leaders not only reflect the community with whom we work, but are members of that community. All Envision Leaders have personally experienced homelessness, and like so many in the homeless community, they have faced barriers to housing in countless forms including criminal records, evictions histories, poor credit, and struggles with mental health and addiction. These individuals are driven to serve as leaders of Envision Community because they know their work will help others in their community.
